height:
maximum 300 mm from loading holding assembly to unloaded lying part. This height dimension does not apply to stretchers with monoblock undercarriages. If a monoblock is not available, the stretcher shall be constructed such that it is detachable from the undercarriage. Where a stretcher support is used the measurement shall be taken from the top surface of the stretcher support to the lying part of the stretcher. — Undercarriage:
length and width of the frame of the undercarriage when located in the ambulance shall not exceed length and width of the stretcher part. 4.2.3 Mass The mass excluding mattress and patient restraints shall not be more than: — Stretcher part: 23 kg; — Undercarriage including stretcher: 51 kg max (combined weight); — Stretcher part with integrated undercarriage: monoblock 45 kg. NOTE In all cases the mass should be as low as possible. 4.2.4 Loading capacity The loading capacity shall be a minimum of 150 kg. 4.2.5 Frame 4.2.5.1 General The frame shall be a sturdy lightweight non twisting construction enabling use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. All corners of the frame shall be radiused for greater safety. It shall be possible to lock and secure the stretcher and undercarriage against lateral, longitudinal, vertical movements. All mechanisms shall be constructed to prevent damage to the user and the patient. 4.2.5.2 Stretcher parts a) If swing-down side rails are mounted, they shall have a minimum length of 500 mm and a minimum height between 150 mm and 200 mm measured from the top of the stretcher frame to the top of the side rail. b) If longitudinal handles are incorporated they shall be fitted to the ends of the longitudinal frame such that they lock and do not twist when they are stowed or in use. They shall be designed to minimise the risk of injuries to hands and wrists when being operated or when the stretcher is carried in a non-horizontal position. The stretcher shall allow the fixation and use of a carrying harness. c) The stretcher shall either have a water and scratch resistant paint finish or be manufactured of corrosion resistant material. Both shall be unaffected by disinfectants. d) If intended to be used without undercarriage there shall be four wheels with a minimum diameter of 100 mm suitably placed to ensure stability.
